Hello guys, is it true you get a cash reward if you get really high in your STEP paper? Thanks

Unless there is some sort of college/uni specific scholarship/bursary that does reward exceptional grades I think not. I got 113/120 in my STEP I (I am Scottish so sat I and II) which placed me second out of all entries and I have definitely not received a penny for it. :smile:

There isn't an Oustanding in STEP, it goes (Worst) U, 3, 2, 1, S (Best) with S standing for scholarship. You don't actually get a scholarship, this is just a hangover from a previous incarnation.

Maybe you are thinking about the Maths Tripos (the name of the maths degree at Cambridge) where you get a fixed sum (varies between colleges) if you get a First?

Hopefully, also do they consider MMath and G100 candidates separately, or Maths candidates as a whole? (sorry for all the questions)

Well done on your STEP grades! What's the best way to prepare for STEP in your opinion? Do you just keep on doing past paper questions?

I'd guess as a whole but I'm not at all sure... you could always look it up on the mathematics department website and see if it says anything.

Oxford offer. TSR has been helpful over the past few months. Hoping A2 exams will go well.

Good luck to all waiting for any university decisions.
